What's a show you've never watched and never will because people keep telling you. "You HAVE to watch it!" (hexbear.net)

I'll go first:

Breaking Bad.

I can't do it. I've seen the first season! I know what you're going to say next: oh but it gets better after the first season you HAVE to watch it.

The Walking Dead.

Can't do it. There is so much walking dead bullshit I simply can't watch it.

Battlestar Galactica.

I know its good. I've been told over and over and over again. I simply can't!

None of these shows are going to live up to the hype I can feel it in my bones.

Andor might be in that boat but I did watch it all the way through. Probably won't again. I liked it, but if you haven't seen it yet I can't imagen it lives up to the hype. Maybe a little.

For most Star Trek shows you're better off with highlight episodes tbh, though now and then a great one is part of a longer story arc.

I just started Babylon 5 and it starts wayyy stronger than any Trek starts.

The first season of B5 has plenty of filler episodes, and I'd argue that season 2 has plenty of fluff until the episode In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum. It's been a long time since I watched the show though, and at some point in the near future I'm planning to rewatch.

I haven't seen the whole show so idk what's "filler" and what's not, it's just episode after episode of really solid 90s sci-fi that isn't tied down by The Federation/Earth/The US being a utopia

B5's "filler" episodes are important character development. Except for TKO of course. Completely skippable.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 1 points 5 days ago

You're probably right, I read some of the first season articles on Wikipedia and most of them do seem to have something that furthers the characters' story arcs. TKO is afaik regarded as the worst episode in the series by far.
